McKinley PTO Newsletter
Where Every Parent Is A Member
January 4, 2021
Presidents' Update
Happy New Year McKinley Families! New adventures are around the corner. Wishing you and yours a happy, healthy, and hopeful 2021!
As the teachers begin to teach five day in person learning to larger class sizes as well as some teachers will also be zooming in the virtual students, we know this is a lot of additional work for them. The PTO and families would like to continue supporting the teachers in every way possible to make the transition to run as smooth as possible. One of the many ways we would like to support them is by providing the teachers lunch from Miss Molly's on Thursday, January 7th. If you are interested in buying a teacher(s) lunch, click HERE.
Thank you to Monica Deluhery for collecting, washing and donating the remaining items left in the lost and found. All the items will be donated to the local social service agency this month.
In this edition of the PTO newsletter look for more information about:
- Buy a Teacher Lunch
- Future Dine Outs
- Amazon Smile
Here's hoping you make the most of 2021!

Future Dine Out Dates - Mark Your Calendars
Please mark your calendars for the upcoming Dine Out events.
Kin Tosa by Rice and Roll in the Village will be giving McKinley 5% of their total sales on Wednesday, January 20th, 2021. Their hours that day are 11:30 am - 3 pm and 4 pm - 9 pm. Kin offers Dine in, Carry out, Curbside and Delivery. All orders that day count whether you mention our school or not but please thank them on behalf of McKinley!
On Tuesday, February 2nd 2021 MOD Pizza in the Village will donate 20% of all purchases that mention McKinley that day (10:30 am - 9 pm). Pick-up can be really easy if you order online at https://orders.modpizza.com/ for the location at 7470 W. State Street, Wauwatosa and use the promo code "GR162861M" so the order counts for McKinley.
On Tuesday, March 9th 2021 from 5 pm - 8 pm Portillos at 17685 W. Bluemound Rd. in Brookfield will donate 20% of sales to McKinley but they must show them the fundraising flyer. Orders for drive through count, although online and phone orders do not count, unfortunately. ***Portillos said that to tell you that if the drive through line looks long you should know they have been doing this for months and it will move quickly.
The Corner Bakery Cafe will host McKinley on Monday, March 15th from 7 am - 9 pm on 11500 W Burleigh in Wauwatosa. 20% of sales that day that mention McKinley when checking out will be donated back to our school!
